As a businessman, Zong Qinghou's death became a major event, which may have surprised many people. Especially in the past two years, although the state has repeatedly emphasized that private entrepreneurs are their own people, but in the first place, the remarks of hatred of the rich are still endless. This shows that it is not so easy to make a directional U-turn. But on the day of Zong Qinghou's funeral, although it was raining, Hangzhou's ten-mile long street was still crowded with umbrellas, and under the umbrellas were his "old friends". His life is also glorious, and his death is also mournful. Looking around, there are only a handful of entrepreneurs with this kind of treatment.
I didn't know about Zong Qinghou before, but opening the circle of friends is a message to pay tribute to Zong Lao. When I was chatting with a friend, I said, it is probably like this, he is similar to our father in terms of age, he is very similar to our father in terms of habits and style, his departure can resonate with us emotionally, and he can bring everyone a sense of belonging in terms of values.
Of course, this person who has traveled through the dust all his life is not something that I can summarize in this superficial statement. Actually, I don't know him, and I don't know much about him because I have watched the news recently.
For example, no matter where he goes, he wears a pair of cloth shoes for 30 yuan a pair, and he doesn't even look different from a farmer;
For example, although he is worth billions, his annual personal expenses will not even exceed 50,000 yuan;
For example, when eating, he also does not like big fish and meat, but likes to eat green vegetables, and refuses to waste ......
These are all things I only learned from watching the news recently, but just these can earn him the respect of one of my juniors, not to mention his sentence "We will not fire employees over 45 years old", which can easily hit the tear ducts of middle-aged people of my age.
His merits can be listed one by one:
For decades, we have insisted on doing industry, expanding investment and absorbing employment;
In the first location, we built houses and divided houses for employees, which solved the most basic housing problems of many employees;
He also donated to build Hope Primary School and donated earthquake and flood relief ......
Reading and reading in the endless news, I read nine words: self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world. From Confucianism becoming our Taoist system more than 2,000 years ago, to Zong Qinghou, and Lu Guanqiu and Feng Gensheng, who were known as the troika of Zhejiang merchants with him, the Confucian tradition left on me like my father's generation is the last sunset and the last touch of warmth reflected in the tide of market economy.
In any case, the old man walked very beautifully and decently.
Recently, Mo Yan has been very undignified.
As with his magical realism writing, the fact that he was prosecuted was magical.
The grandmaster of magical realism is in South America, and it is said that Mo Yan watched Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and sighed that ** can still be written like this, so he began the experiment of Chinese magical realism.
Magical realism also has to take a back three points in the face of the magic of reality.
It doesn't matter what purpose Mao Xinghuo sued Mo Yan, the important thing is that someone will definitely do such a thing.
According to the information picked up by netizens, this person's real name is Wu Wanzheng, a native of Fenghuang County, Hunan, and he recently lives in a place in Hebei Province, close to Beijing. His online name is "Mao Xinghuo", and he has his own account on Weibo, WeChat and other new ** platforms. The name Wu Wanzheng should be more credible, because the WeChat official account he registered as early as 2022 once used the homonym of the two words in his name "No dispute.""naming, and later changed to a name related to the screen name "Mao Xinghuo".
It doesn't really matter who Mao Xinghuo is, I have to applaud him whoever does this.
Originally, there has never been a shortage of people who do not respect culture and even less respect for art, they only accept the views and works that they can understand and accept, and we have never lacked clowns and spiritual minions. Liang Qichao said in "Chinese Historical Revolution": "Twenty-four histories are not histories, and twenty-four surnames are just family genealogies." Lu Xun said in the article "The Old Tune Has Been Sung": "Chinese culture is a culture of serving the master, which is exchanged for the suffering of many people. ”
According to Lao Tzu's moral theory, when good things appear, bad things are revealed, and bad things appear, good things are revealed.
Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the Tao moves against each other, who can say that this is not a good thing? If someone has never had a bottom line in such a thing as breaking the bottom line, he will be backlashed.
Yan Feng, a professor at Fudan University, said: "This wave of Internet farce, don't talk about the motives, just look at the results, and it's clear at a glance: 1. .Full of traffic; 2.Panic; 3.Capital runs. Over the years, such farces have been staged without restraint, consuming social resources, reaping tears, and dispersing people's hearts. ”
If it is just about learning, Mo Yan's colleague Yan Lianke said: "Today, the Chinese literary world has reached an era of great misdirection and misreading. Why? We are all well aware today that society demands that writers and literature must assume the functions of the sun and the moon, and literature does not have this function. Literature is very cold, and the writer is very quiet, he just wants to be warm in the sun, talk and talk in the moonlight, and take a walk.
Today, when we ask a writer to shine like the sun and the moon, we can't write this kind of literature, so what kind of literature can we write? I think this second kind of literature can actually be seen very clearly, and I thought about how to name it for a long time, and I think it is-bitter coffee literature. ”
He also said: "Café literature is very popular today, not that writing in a café is called café literature, but the style of this literature: literature with a little cold in the warmth, a little bit of pain in the sweetness, which is a literary limitation that our writers today are pursuing as a whole." ”
The historian Toynbee said: Civilizations do not die by homicide, but by suicide.
After examining the rise and fall of 28 civilizations in the East and the West, Toynbee concluded:
The key to the rise of civilization lies in whether a creative elite can lead the masses to meet the challenges.
Therefore, the growth of civilization is the war of one or several people.
They are there, and civilization is there; They are creative, and civilization is creative. If they are gone, or if they lose their creativity, civilization will fail. ”
When Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize, he said that when everyone is crying, someone should be allowed not to cry.
The reality may be that everyone has bitter coffee, no tea, no wine, no magical realist literature, but the reality is becoming more and more magical.
Sooner or later, it will be counterattacked, and it will be reborn if it is counterattacked.
This world exists absurdly and stubbornly, and most of the time things that belong to different extremes are like two parallel lines, which do not intersect or interfere, just like the crowded moldy concert in Singapore and the big stage of the Henan Yu Opera Troupe Youth Troupe surrounded by crowds.
On Feb. 29, Musk sued OpenAI and its chief executive, Altman, in a San Francisco court, alleging that it violated an agreement reached when the AI research company was founded to develop artificial intelligence for human well-being, not profit, in part because of billions of dollars in funding from Microsoft. allegations including breach of fiduciary duty and unfair business practices, and requiring the company to reinstate open source.
In 2015, Musk and OpenAI's current Ultraman co-founded the non-profit organization OpenAI, claiming to avoid the extinction of artificial intelligence. In the early stages after the establishment of OpenAI, Musk and Ultraman clearly had a tacit understanding, and the two agreed that having a large number of competing AI systems is more conducive to building an AI security system.
However, Musk's friendship with Ultraman was shattered in 2018, and Musk left OpenAI's board of directors. After a lapse of many years, Musk criticized in an interview that OpenAI broke away from his original idea and began to use it for profit and closed it up.
Musk said in the lawsuit that the changes led to the "overnight collapse" of the checks and balances that protect the nonprofit's mission. Under the new board of directors, the company is developing and refining general artificial intelligence AGI to maximize Microsoft's profits, not for the "good of humanity." OpenAI has transformed into a de facto closed-source subsidiary of Microsoft.
Musk's core purpose is to urge its open source, and it is worth mentioning that in July last year, Musk announced the establishment of XThe AI company, which is mainly engaged in artificial intelligence business, and soon launched the first artificial intelligence model Grok, which can connect to Musk's social ** platform in real time, aiming to compete with OpenAI and others.
According to an internal memo sent by OpenAI to the company's employees, the company "categorically disagrees" with Musk's lawsuit against the company.
In the memo, OpenAI's chief strategy officer refuted Musk's claim that "OpenAI is a de facto subsidiary of Microsoft" and said that Musk may have done so because he regretted not being involved in OpenAI's company development today.
In the memo, Altman called Musk his hero and said that he missed the previous Musk.
Some people say that after reading the attitude of netizens and Hangzhou citizens towards Zong Lao after leaving, don't say that ordinary people hate the rich, everyone hates the rich and is unkind, and the more entrepreneurs like Zong Lao, the better.
Sure enough, then, everyone's nostalgia for Zong Qinghou turned into a witch hunt for Nongfu Spring Zhong. Although he stood up in time and published an article commemorating Zong Qinghou to clarify, it was not ideal from the perspective of the effect, and the post was still a one-sided condemnation.
The reason why they took the trouble to transcribe the grievances between Musk and Ultraman is because their refreshing lawsuit really makes me envious, and I feel that it is a calculation between people, not between people and dogs.
If a man is concerned with a dog, he is not a man.
The publisher that published Mo Yan's work responded:
After careful examination, it was found that the issue of the "Red Sorghum Family" reported by the petitioner was not true......"Red Sorghum Family" is a "tragic national epic of the life and death, blood and soil of the ancestors" created with literary brushwork. As a fictional work, it cannot be viewed from the perspective of documentary reportage, and the story told cannot be ......treated as a historical event that happened in realityAny interpretation of a work taken out of context can easily lead to a misreading of the entire work itself and the writer himself. Therefore, these problems in the book "The Red Sorghum Family" reflected by the petitioners are taken out of context and misinterpreted, and there is no problem of orientation.
There is a paragraph that says:
In fact, literary works are like a mirror, but they reflect the reader's own appearance. You see that talented and beautiful people see Yan Ruyu, and rich businessmen see ** house, everyone will read with their own feelings and experiences. ”
So how can you read to the realm of going to court? ”
There are two possibilities, one is that I didn't read it at all, as for whether to sue Mo Yan or Mo Wenwei or Mo Gao Grottoes, it all depends on the mood; The other is a moth, which crawls into the book, chews the words in it, and in it, and as a result, it wants to sue people for the smell of the book. ”
Although I can't understand Mao Xinghuo's operation, I agree with what Voltaire said: "I can't agree with every word you say, but I swear to defend your right to speak." ”
I don't agree with others breaking the bottom line, but I firmly defend his right to break the bottom line.
Because only in the face of the bottom line of repeated concessions, the minimum conscience that Zong Qinghou retains is precious, and someone will eventually be awakened and then take a step forward with difficulty.
